Selections from The sounds of ideas forming for (h)ear XL II, curated by Mike Kramer, Kunstencentrum Signe, Heerlen, Netherlands, 26 September - 9th October 2014.

The Beach (MP3, 57.7mb) draws together the voice-less pieces from the collection, considering artists' ongoing exploration of non-traditional instruments within compositional methods. The exception is the voice in Lisa Stansbie's Background To A Film: Spitfire Beach from A history of background. Running behind the first 35 minutes is a reversed version of Ben Patterson performing George Brecht's Drip Music (1959).
